      Yeah that’s about the only time I have to do reboots at work which are 99% linux. Well the production ones anyway.

      Or the other reason is my lab having power issues due to malfunctioning UPSes, faulty NEMA L6-30 plugs, janky 240v circuit breakers or… I’m beginning to think my lab is electrically cursed.

        While technically the truth, it can be a hassle to make sure you restart all relevant services after updating a given library.

        I just like being able to restart underlying system to take care of any possible straggler without thinking, and the services broadly be provided by multiple systems so the “experience” is starting up through a rolling reboot

      Was about to say, “or if you’re running Arch, the last time you updated the kernel or systemd version, so probably last week or summit.”
